Resum
The detection of asymptomatic carriers of contagious agalactia-causingmycoplasmas is useful to prevent further transmission and maintenance ofthis disease, especially in endemic areas. In this sense, the sampling of thecaprine external auricular canal (EAC) has demonstrated to be highlyappropriate to detect these individuals, contrary to the situation in ovine,where this has not been described. In this study, 65 rams reared in anendemic area were analyzed to detect Mycoplasma agalactiae (Ma).The results revealed the presence of Ma in the EAC of 2 rams, which is thefirst isolation of the agent at this anatomic location and also confirms the roleof rams as asymptomatic carriers. Further studies should investigatewhether the sampling of the ovine EAC is a suitable surveillance tool.
